I'll have to start making smaller cars now, as my TVR and Bugatti have taken up quite a lot of parts from my lego pile. That also means I probably can't make anything red :)

I've got an idea for a film car which might not be too hard in a smaller scale
(maybe 12 or 16 wide) , but I don't have a huge load of lego, nor as much time on my hands as I'd like.

I'll try my best to give it a go, but I hope there's no silly deadline like 'next week'...

Oh no, the deadline dose'nt end till the end of the month.
Haha it's funny when you said smaller scale I was thinking like 4 and 6 wide:)

Lol well compared to my 1/3 , 1/9 and 1/10 cars, even 16 wide seems small :) Though I'll probably stick to 12 or so for this, I dunno , we'll see; it really depends how much time I can make.
I was thinking about James Bond's white Lotus Esprit from the spy who loved me, with the submarine bits too.

Looks like Fred's already won this contest though, why not make a TVR competition ? I'll have far less competition like that hahaha :)

I'll do my best to make the car if I can, but there are no guarantees.

Quoting King Tiger
I cant think of anything (I once built the Thunderbirds Fab 1, but didnt take photos and My specific GT500 didnt appear in any movies.

Why don't you make a car, Instead using one you have already made.

The problem is I still have my GTho and I don't want to butcher it completely, and all my good car parts are in it. But I did intend of making a new car. Maybe a minifig scale elanor because then I could let the falcon be and use grey parts instead.Permalink

I got quite bored yesterday, so I decided I'd make the most of that tilme and started building my entry.

It's going to be the white Jmes Bond Lotus Esprit submarine (and it's going to have all the submarine-y bits too, or as much as I can make anyway; not sure how I'll manage the missiles in the front of the bonnet)
Also, it's 16-wide, which seems to be relatively 'big' for a lego car here on MOCpages... for me it seems really small cçomapred to my other cars haha :) so small and easy I'm already half done; only the interior and roof left now.

Though, the advantage of a bigger car is you can add more detail... luckily being wedge-shaped, the lotus was quite easy in a smaller scale than usual. I couldn't do any bigger bexcause though I surely have enough white bricks, I don't have any bigger wheels left (I don't even have them for the TVR yet, let alone this lol).

So I should be done soon; busy again now but I'll definately find the time to finish it; I didn't get halfway through for nothing...

I've finished my entry; and am quite happy with the result, considering the fact that I made it smaller than usual and was in a sort-of rush for this competition (meaning only using parts I already had, to avoid needing to order parts and wait forever for them to turn up).

2. Do I have to be a member of "Everything Cars" to compete, even though I was personally invited?

3. Can I have more than one entry?

If you could clear things up a little that would be great! I'm really interested in this contest. Thanks!

Hi Dax!!! First off I would just like to say I think your a fantastic builder. So now I will try to clear things up for you, the deadline is September first, yes you can have more than one entry and I'm really sorry that I have not yet invited you to everything cars I really thought I did. Anyways the main idea of this contest is just to make a car from a movie, for example : Plymouth : oldtimer : a car from fast and the furious : a car from speed racer : a car from transformers. Once again thank you for particapating I really appreciate it.Permalink
